On January 28th, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation officially confirmed another victory of the Russian army. The village of Dvurechnaya in the Kupyansk direction came under the full Russian control.
The first reports about Russian victory came from the battlefield the day before. The village is located on the western bank of the Oskol river. It was an important logistics hub of the Armed Forces of Ukraine north of Kupyansk because there is a large road junction in Dvurechnaya.
Russian Defense Minister Alexander Belousov congratulated the command and personnel of the 25th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Sevastopol Red Banner Brigade named after Latvian Riflemen for successfully completing combat missions during the liberation of Dvurechnaya settlement.

Russian control of Dvurechnaya increases Russian bridgehead on the western bank of the Oskol River and increases pressure on the Ukrainian garrison in Kupyansk. After their victory, Russian forces continue offensive operations advancing west and north. As a result of their recent attack, they advanced about 3 kilometers along the both banks of the local Nizhnyaya Dvurechnaya River, leaving the enemy no chance to hold defense along the natural obstacle. The Russian army is already approaching the village of Kutkovka.
At the same time, Russian forces continue attacks from their positions in the recently captured Zapadnoe located south of Dvurechnaya. Russian assault groups are moving towards Kupyansk, expanding their zone of control on its northern outskirts.
